The History of Recipes
Written recipes as an idea can be observed far back into antiquity, certainly as far back as early Egypt, and maybe even further. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial instructions for preparing food.
Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of interesting recipe books which were published in the 1300s - a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary called `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, these books have no connection with the curry that we all know today, but instead accounts of the types of meals prepared for the rich and wealthy people of those days. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices such as coriander, basil and rosemary. These new foods and tastes caused an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, most of which are now in private cookery archives. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us up to date and the invention of the internet, allowing everyone to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on the site you are now reading. |
We hope you enjoy this Carrot Cake (Low Fat) recipe.
